Pot and pan handles should be
turned inward and not extend over
the countertop to reduce the risk of
burns, ignition of flammable materials
and spills.
Do not store items on the cooktop
when not in use.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate
on the appliance.
Do not leave the cooktop
unattended while in use.
Overheated food can ignite.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother any fire or flame, or use a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Do not flambé under an exhaust
hood. Flames could be drawn up
into the hood by the suction or the
grease filters may ignite.
Take care that drafts from fans or
forced air vents do not blow
flammable material toward the flames
or push the flames so that they extend
beyond the edges of the pan.
The flame should be the same size
as the bottom of the pan. Do not
use small pans with high flame settings
as the flames can climb up the sides of
the pan.
Only use cooking utensils suitable
for cooktop use.
If there is a drawer directly
underneath the appliance without
any wooden base in between, ensure
that no aerosols, combustible liquids or
other easily flammable materials are
kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be
placed in the drawer, these must be
made of heat-resistant material.
